Social Question

Who else wants to hide in the woods?

It’s the campaign season. At this point the robocalls are driving me nuts, the political ads are getting more vulger and more annoying, the news has a new scandal about one of the candidates every day. Am I alone in my desire to go hide in the woods until election day?

I have stopped watching politics. I am considering not logging onto facebook for the next couple of months also. The whole chick-fil-a fiasco has pushed me over the edge. The only complication is I am responsible for a facebook group for a club in which I am the social chairperson. Not to mention we just voted Aug 2 here for the state primaries and voted on local issues regarding sales tax and schools, and the whole thing has made me sick. Literally I am feeling sick, depressed, short tempered, hate everyone due to the politics around me, in the nation, and some other personal matters. I need to unhook, unlink, un something myself from some of the stressors, and politics is one that will go for now. The other is dealing with a customer service woman at the hospital that cared for me regardng an accident back in March. I have decided to just stop. Let her win if that is what it is, and do my best to put it in the past. It will cost me money in more ways than one, but I need to save my sanity.

Well, I live in the woods and I am leaving for the coast tomorrow morning. Wanna goose and cat and plant sit for me? I have a great little retreat like hideaway out here. ;-)
Beer in the fridge, hot tub, make yourself at home. ;-D

I am very annoyed by the phone ringing all of the time, but I don’t watch television so I’ve missed a lot of the ads. They still find me online, but for the most part, I’m trying to avoid it all. I despise this time of year. I’d go with you.

No, but only because I dislike the woods. How about a café in Paris? Could I hide there?

Truthfully, there’s no need to hide. Don’t watch or read the news. Only watch on TV what you DVR (and fast forward through the commercials). Set your browsers homepage to something fun. Bow out of political discussions.

Can I join you?I’ll bring my fantastic personality. My charming ways will send even the most determined politicians away. And if that doesn’t work, I have a pocketknife. Just jab and twist.
Ooh, I’ll also bring s’mores. With extra Hershey’s bars for @WillWorkForChocolate

Huh? Whatever happened to the off button? On the rare occasions that I turn on the TV, I watch Dr Who on the cable On Demand section.I look at my phone and if I don’t recognize the caller, I just let it ring. When the answering machine comes on, they hang up.
